Things are quiet on the Liverpool FC transfer front as the preparations for the World Cup begin their final lap. However, it is transfer rumour season, so even at its quietest, something’s going on. According to Fabrizio Romano, Alexis Mac Allister is being monitored by several clubs. Alexis has been linked to Real Madrid on […]
With World Cup 2026 kicking off on Thursday, we’ve got the chance here at The Liverpool Offside to join in with some of the other sites around the network to cast our votes and predict who we think will win it all this summer and which player we think will end up with the Golden […]
For more than a decade now, Jesse Marsch has been considered the most talented and promising American coach of his generation. For a country aspiring to compete amongst the heavyweights of the game, the 52-year-old’s career has been tracked as any rising star player’s might, and expectations have been high for him to help raise […]
Nobody expected Virgil van Dijk to become the best centre-back of his generation and one of the all time greats of the Premier League. Late into his teens, the son of a Dutch father who divorced his Surinamese mother before abandoning Van Dijk and his two siblings at 11 years of age worked as a […]
All the way back in the pre-history of January of this year, with Liverpool struggling through a defensive injury crisis that was limiting head coach Arne Slot’s options at both centre half and right back, the Reds were linked with a move for on-loan defender Lutsharel Geertruida. Slot had coached Geertruida at Feyenoord before the […]
As the 2025-26 season wound down, Liverpool began to be heavily linked with 16year-old Hertha Berlin midfielder Kennet Eichhorn. They weren’t alone, though, with everyone from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester City also said to be ready and willing to trigger his €10M release clause as sign him. For a time, Liverpool were even presented as […]
On his “Here We Go” podcast, Fabrizio Romano provided an update on the battle between Liverpool FC and Paris Saint-Germain for RB Leipzig’s 19-year-old winger Yan Diomande. “Diomande is probably one of the most exciting and electrifying wingers on the market.” “Now, it’s difficult to find players who can be young, talented [good in] one-v-one, […]
Liverpool have eight first team players at the World Cup this summer with Alisson Becker representing Brazil, Florian Wirtz with Germany, Alexis Mac Allister with Argentina, Endo representing Japan, Alexander Isak lining up for Sweden, and Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch, and Cody Gakpo all key to the Netherlands’ hopes. They will also have some […]
Even without sales, Liverpool face a massive task in the summer transfer window needing to replace Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, and Ibrahima Konaté as well as having to fill additional holes at right back and forward due to long-term injury ahead of the 2026-27 season. For a side that looked both unbalanced and lacking in […]
On Saturday, 17-year-old Rio Ngumoha made his England senior debut, coming on as part of a fully changed second half eleven for the Three Lions’ World Cup warm-up friendly against New Zealand. It was a 45 minutes that allowed the youngster to show his flair and promise, even if there wasn’t much end product. Even […]
If you squint at things in just the right way, there’s a case that Liverpool’s struggles in 2025-26 at least in part point to the value of Darwin Nuñez, with the Reds and in particular winger Mohamed Salah missing having any kind of a hard-grafting presence leading the line and the rest of the attack […]
Ibrahima Konate recently departed Liverpool after both his team and the club were unable to come to terms on a new contract and his current contract was allowed to expire. Konate is now a free agent, most likely headed to Real Madrid instead. That in and of itself is a blemish on the club, because […]
This post started as a lengthy reply to the many comments from yesterday’s article about Federico Chiesa possibly getting a fresh start under new Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola. Somewhere around the two hundred word mark, I remembered that I’m actually a writer here in TLO Towers, and fuck it, I can just write a full […]
Liverpool had a bit of a seismic week: sacking Arne Slot last Saturday and this past Thursday, naming Adoni Iraola as his replacement. Life moves fast but you’d be forgiven if you’ve got a bit of whiplash between all of these happenings. Because Slot had just won the Premier League the year prior in what […]
When Liverpool decided to part ways with Arne Slot and bring in Andoni Iraola as their new head coach, a lot of talk focused on style, tactics, and approach. Liverpool, it’s probably fair to say, did not play an enjoyable brand of football in 2025-26, and if the results aren’t there and the football is […]
Liverpool took no time between sacking Slot to certified rumours to announcing Andoni Iraola as the new head coach of the club. They’ve uploaded a video to YouTube of Iraola sitting down and introducing himself, and now the official site has published an in depth, two-part interview with him. While there were no “call me […]
Even in Arne Slot’s first, title-winning season, one of the biggest criticisms was his unwillingness to give fringe and youth players any significant minutes. Although The Reds put the league to bed early, and secured the top seed in the Champions League, the wear and and tear on the starting XI became apparent starting around […]
Earlier today, transfer chatter out of Germany emerged linking 17-year-old rising star Liverpool winger Rio Ngumoha with a move to Bayern Munich, with Sky Germany’s Bayern mouthpiece Florian Plettenberg claiming an exclusive that cast Ngumoha as a priority wing target and going on to suggest personal terms had been lined up with the player. This […]
Welsh international Ceri Holland has won the 2025-26 Player of the Season Award for the 2025-26 season, with Beata Olsson and Fuka Nagano placing second and third. She had previously been named in the Player’s Player of the Season. The midfielder had 27 appearances in all competitions this season, recording four goals and eight assists. […]
Rio Ngumoha made 29 appearances for Liverpool in the 2025-26 season, scoring twice and generally being one of the few bright spots for Liverpool fans. His first senior goal for the club came against Newcastle United in the second game of the season, a late and dramatic winner away that was nonetheless a mature and […]
We’ve known for some time now that Andy Robertson would be moving on from Liverpool after the 2025-26 season, and for almost as long as we’ve known that we’ve also known that the 32-year-old Scottish left back and Liverpool legend was likely to end up at Tottenham. Today, it’s official. Robertson arrived on Merseyside in […]
In a piece for The Guardian about Liverpool FC’s appointment of Andoni Iraola as head coach, Andy Hunter also discussed the club’s recruitment priorities this offseason. In summary: These additions are pretty much expected after the season Liverpool have had, but it remains to be seen whether Liverpool plan to make more signings to help […]
Basque coach Andoni Iraola has officially been announced by the club as the next coach for Liverpool men leading into the 2026-2027 season. It’s not a really surprising appointment as the process of replacing Arne Slot was fairly well publicized over the past week or so, and is even somewhat a sigh of relief as […]
After a difficult 2025-26 season, Liverpool decided to move in a new direction. Last weekend, the Reds parted ways with head coach Arne Slot after two seasons in charge for the Dutch trainer and quickly moved to bring in Andoni Iraola after three successful seasons with Bournemouth for the Basque manager. After a week of […]
As Liverpool limped towards the end of the 2025-26 season, all the transfer chatter around the club focused on the need to sign two high quality wingers in the summer, and the recent departure of Arne Slot as head coach and imminent arrival of Andoni Iraola isn’t expected to change that. And when it comes […]
